The solution for oral health problems are provided by the advancements in dental technology which is utilized to make dentistry more comfortable than before. The newer techniques benefits both dentists and patients due to the advantages of less evasiveness  and more dependable than the past years. Development of technologies in dentistry had made them to offer an enhanced state of comfort to provide improved oral health for patients.   These dental upgrading play an vital role in the comfort of the patients as well as the dentists, specialists, hygienists, allowing them to provide the highest standard of possible dental care. These cutting edge technologies in this dental world allows for the restorations in dental that resemble the natural feel and look. This type of new technologies can be used for dental bridges, porcelain veneers, crowns and many more to replace the earlier techniques. Another emergence had made dentists work effortless -“ Intraoral cameras ”- a sma

Regenerative Endodontics: Saving Teeth with Stem Cells

Stem cells play a demanding   role in development and in tissue regeneration. The dental pulp contains a small sub-population of stem cells that are involved in the response of the pulp to caries progression.   Odontoblasts replaced by stem cells that have undergone cell death as a consequence of the cariogenic challenge. Stem cells also secrete factors that have the potential to enhance pulp vascularization and provide the oxygen and nutrients required for the dentinogenic response that is typically observed in teeth with deep caries. Angiogenic factors, contribute to the demise of the pulp by enhancing vascular permeability and interstitial pressure required for dentin regeneration. Recent studies focused on the biology of dental pulp stem cells revealed that the multipotency and angiogenic capacity of these cells could be exploited therapeutically in dental pulp tissue engineering.                                  The regenerative potential of adult stem cells is directed
